No idea mate. Hope it went to a good home though. Ive sent DVLA an email, see what they say.

Yeah i'll see how it goes, i could be worrying about nothing and i could get the yellow slip through my door and i can send it off. But im not counting on it being returned. Suppose my error is a) not getting a receipt and b) giving them the wrong slip. My fault completely, but in regards to the slip i didnt know it was me who was to keep the slip. Cheers RW1. Btw its not the corrado incase you were wondering :) its just a Volvo. :lol:

So what can i do without a receipt, without the yellow part of the v5, but still have the V5. Assuming this bloke doesnt send me back the yellow part of the v5?

Thats it i didnt get a receipt. :-/ Ill try contact the guy again. See if he can return the yellow bit and i'll send him the v5. So with out a receipt i'll be truely fooked if something does happen. The car isnt able to be driven as it had 4 flat tyres and it wouldnt start. So no issue with it being driven, but there is if something else happens. Just contacted the guy and said he'd post it back and id send him the V5.... whether he will or not is another question.

Hi all, Think ive fooked up... Ive scrapped a car i was given as it wasnt worth repairing etc. Well sold it, so the buyer can then scrap it. So searched scrap my car on google and got a place to come take it away. They will be scrapping it, but ive technically sold the car to them. When the guys turned up it wasnt a flat bed and just a transit pick up with a tow bar to take the car away. Now, i filled out the yellow part of the V5 to say id sold it to a motor trader, but ive made the error of giving them the yellow section and keeping the rest of the V5. I now believe i should have given them the v5 and kept the yellow section. My worry is they wont send off the yellow section, they may and i hope they do, but then they may not. So what can i do if in 4 weeks time i dont get a letter statin transfer of ownership - obviously ring the DVLA. But i dont want to be still down as the registered keeper when they have the car and its scrapped, by them.

Engine? VR im assuming? Dont think hoses are available anymore.. worth checking and if not a secondhand jobbie will be the next thing - which could fail in a couple of years as it too will be 15+ years old. Aftermarket silicone hoses are the way to go imo if you can afford them.

:lol: ^^

Correct :)

dear i say - go as yourself :lol: But seriously, i saw the middle finger one a few months ago and couldnt stop laughing it. I imagine it'd be reet up your street CS :D

Yeah thats what Delfinis said, but just said to be sure sorn at the end of the month.

Cool thanks. The car wont be stored anywhere other than the policies address. Thanks all!

ah ok guys. Cheers! Will the insurance company know unless i tell them. Its on a multi car policy (admiral)

Hi all, Quick Q. Corrado tax expires at the end of Oct and i plan on SORN'ing it until next year. If i sorn it before the tax expires is the SORN of immediate effect or can i use the car until the tax ends, at which point its the SORN? Hope that makes sense lol Cheers

James, mine came today mate. Thanks mate.

Im now wondering this too.

Once when picking the gf up from leeds centre the arm connecting the motor to the mechanism came off (worn ball joint) and i had to have the gf hanging out the window moving the wipers until we got so close to home and i got my dad to bring me some string lol. We ended up laughing about it.

Welcome :)

The motor will be 15+ years old mate assuming its never been changed and the tt wipers do cling to the screen more than the standard ones. Im saying motor to be honest. Maybe worth taking the mechanism out and greasing it all up, also checking for any worn ball joints.

Stuck it on the drive for the winter :(

I get this if the screen is too dry for the blades. Could be the old motor isnt strong enough for the wipers. I simply spray the washer jets and it sorts it out.

:lol: glad i wasnt the only one who found it unnerving lol. Walking round with just a flash light expecting something to jump out at any moment. Awesome game and only game ive felt like that with.

Koni shocks with H&R springs are a popular choice.

Hi mate Im after a couple of clips that hold the switches intocthe dash. I need 2 for my abs light. Also the sunroof seal if in good condition Thanks

Relays for uprated wiring loom can be got from maplins.

Dont take it to heart mate, was just yanking your chain :lol:
